August 2019 App-o-Rama Results

App-e-tizing After cashing out my Discover miles, that same day I decided to try an App-o-Rama.

3% Cash Back Card (That You Probably Didn’t Know About)

An Old New Card As I’m becoming more inspired by FIRE (financial independence retire early), I’m becoming more and more of a fan of cash rewards vs. points. Fortunately there’s still plenty of opportunity to earn rewards with high end value and often those rewards will greatly outperform the returns from cash. However, as I̵...
